Default 2000 silverado 2500 LD (sloppy mechanics) 4000 miles later 675whp

bought this thing monday night, i thought it was a pretty good deal, sour from my rusty ranchero, i jumped on this because it has the 6.0 motor, 4l80e, 14bolt rear, 3.73 gears, 411pcm wich supports the easy 3bar speed density update and tuning, already injected, just have to put pumps in the tank, and 80lb injectors and go nuts, i cant wait to get started on it, already have turbos, pumps, meth kit, intercooler, wastegates everything in the mail already.

its a 2000 silverado 2500 LD with 211k miles on it!

Next time you go scrounging in the junk yard, try to find a speedo out of a 2500hd or 3500. It has the trans temp gauge and its plug and play.

Very utility company looking. Btw the alternator bracket is dirty....... Clean for 211k.

You should have some custom vinyl graphics made that say Fuzzy Nuts Electrical Repair Inc. for the doors.

Nice find! I have a 2500HD, LQ4, 4L80E, and GM 14 bolt as well. Believe me, I reaaaaaaally am tempted to strapon a simple 76mm and make a good 450rwhp daily driver that can tow absolutely anything.

I am subscribed!

Mod motos aren't as strong as an LSX and hemi's are 'xpensive.

I believe that the only reason denmah is using the lsx platform is the combination of strength and cheep.
